Localizing Heritage
The role of archaeology in divisive nationalism, colonial supremacism, and the marginalization of subaltern groups is increasingly evident globally. Such legacies are visible in Sri Lanka, not least in its north and east, where many regard archaeology as either irrelevant or as a weapon directed against them. We outline the genesis of a UK-Sri Lankan project that responds to this situation and focus on a workshop held in Jaffna with University of…

Prospective policy analysis—a critical interpretive synthesis review
Most policy analysis methods and approaches are applied retrospectively. As a result, there have been calls for more documentation of the political-economy factors central to health care reforms in real-time. We sought to highlight the methods and previous applications of prospective policy analysis (PPA) in the literature to document purposeful use of PPA and reflect on opportunities and drawbacks. We used a critical interpretive synthesis (CIS)…
From ‘no problem’ to ‘a lot of difficulties’
Migration is increasingly common in Africa, especially for employment. Migrants may face additional barriers to accessing health care, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention and treatment, compared with long-term residents. Exploring migrants’ experiences with health services can provide insights to inform the design of health programmes. In this study, we used qualitative methods to understand migrants’ barriers to health servic…
Post-conflict ethics, archaeology and archaeological heritage
Ethics are fundamentally important to all forms of archaeological theory and practice and are embedded within many professional codes of conduct. The ethics of archaeological engagement with conflicts around the world have also been subject to scrutiny and debate. This paper is intended to stimulate discussion around major ethical issues, the problems and possible ways forward for post-conflict archaeology and archaeological heritage

Health systems of oppression
Intersectionality is a useful lens to understand how inequities in health develop and are experienced. Intersectionality is both a theory and methodological approach that demonstrates how overlaying social stratifiers (e.g. gender, ableness, sexual orientation and identity) can result in mutually enforced vulnerabilities that render some groups at an advantage and others at a disadvantage (Bowleg, 2008; Nixon, 2019). For example, as described in …

Landlord villages of Iran as examples of political economy and materiality
This paper uses a political economy framework to explore the role of external agents of change in Iran, and the impact of foreign trade during the 19th and 20th centuries, particularly with Russia and Britain. The results of an historical archaeology exploring landlord villages in the Tehran Plain are analysed here to show how the extremely long-lived landlord village form of land tenure and economic and social control offers a useful case study …
Historical Archaeology and Heritage in the Middle East
The Archaeology of South Asia
This book offers a critical synthesis of the archaeology of South Asia from the Neolithic period (c.6500 BCE), when domestication began, to the spread of Buddhism accompanying the Mauryan Emperor Asoka's reign (third century BCE). The authors examine the growth and character of the Indus civilisation, with its town planning, sophisticated drainage systems, vast cities and international trade. They also consider the strong cultural links between t…
The archaeology of conflict-damaged sites
A furnace and associated ironworking remains at Munsa, Uganda
The fourteenth-century AD furnace at the earthworks site of Munsa is one of the earliest dated examples of iron smelting remains from western Uganda. The furnace is situated on a large, flat area at the centre of the earthworks, screened from the rest of the site by granite boulders. This paper presents and discusses the archaeological context of the furnace and the archaeological remains that were associated with it. It is likely that future exc…

Heritage and archaeology in Chitral, Pakistan
The present article presents the results of a recent (2009) survey of understandings and attitudes to heritage and culture in Chitral, Pakistan. Chitral has two main ethnic-religious groups: the Muslim Kho and the Kalasha, who are the largest non-Muslim minority group in the Hindu Kush. Very little is known formally of Chitral history and prehistory beyond the last 200–300 years, and this has led to a relatively set list of heritage and cultural …

A world apart? Translating the archaeology of the sacred in the modern world
In this paper, based on our collective project Mapping Faith and Place in Leicester, we offer some discussion of ways in which archaeologists can engage with ideas of the sacred, through an exploration of a contemporary landscape of belief in an urban context. Moving beyond traditional archaeological and architectural descriptions of buildings, the relationship between faith and place is investigated using the concept of translation as a way of e…
The absolute chronology of East Chia Sabz
East Chia Sabz is a PPN site located in the Seimareh Valley, western Iran. 14C dating results indicated that the site was occupied from the early 9th millennium to the early 7th millennium BC. As we have very little information about early Neolithic sites in Iran in comparison with the other regions of the Near and Middle East, the site of East Chia Sabz will provide a new benchmark for investigating the Neolithisation process in Iran. It is impo…

The state of theocracy
The ancient Sri Lankan city of Anuradhapura is currently the subject of one of the world's largest and most intensive archaeological research projects. Having traced its growth from an Iron Age village to a medieval city, the research team now moves to the task of modelling the surrounding landscape. Three seasons of fieldwork have located numerous sites of which the most prominent in the urban period are monasteries. Here is a clue about how the…
Dimensions of choice in the assessment and care management process
The aim of promoting the maximum possible choice for service users and carers is - together with the goal of greater independence - central to recent community care policies. This paper sets out a typology of those key choices which users and carers are expected to be able to make within each stage of the assessment and care management process: choices about what services, when to receive them (i.e. at what times and for what duration) and from w…

Socio-Economic Transformations in the Tehran Plain
Two further seasons of excavations at Tepe Pardis and survey in the Tehran Plain were undertaken in 2006 and 2007. The former exposed over 70 square metres of mudbrick structures dating to the Transitional Chalcolithic, including five kilns. The presence of these kilns, in association with a terracotta slow wheel, confirms the presence of a highly specialised production site. We have also confirmed the presence of kiln debris on the southern side…
Socio-Economic Transformations
An archaeological survey of the plain of Tehran was begun in August 2003, marking the initiation of the second phase of collaborative research between Durham University, the University of Bradford, the University of Leicester, the University of Tehran and the Iranian Cultural Heritage and Tourism Organisation (ICHTO). The survey was launched with three main aims. Firstly, to pilot the collection of data regarding the frequency, distribution, dens…
Imbalances in the GP Labour Market in the UK
There is concern that the UK general practitioner (GP) workforce has declined relative to the expanding needs of a primary care-led NHS. Much of the debate about possible solutions within the profession and amongst medical workforce planners has focused on the need to raise medical school intakes and recruit more new GPs. However, other evidence shows that, as with medicine in general, a differential relationship exists in the GP labour market ba…
Flint Use in England after the Bronze Age
Lithic assemblages from a variety of English later Bronze and Iron Age contexts are examined here in an effort to stimulate debate about the later prehistoric exploitation of flint. It is suggested that a variety of technological and morphological features, supporting the idea of discrete later industries, can be identified. A special plea is made to excavators of Late Bronze Age and Iron Age settlement sites to pay greater attention to the conte…
Landlord Villages of the Tehran Plain, Iran
Landlord villages were a major component in rural life for many centuries in the Tehran Plain and much of Iran. This project aims to record the now abandoned structures, link them to historical and ethnographic information, and analyse the use of space within them. This analysis will take into account social hierarchies and relationships, gender and activity. Of particular importance in archaeological terms is the understanding of craft activitie…

Landlord Villages of the Tehran Plain, Iran and Historical Archaeology in Iran
Landlord villages played a major role in rural life for many centuries in the Tehran Plain and many other parts of Iran. Although they are now abandoned, they were occupied within living memory, and thus offer the opportunity for study as an historical archaeology project, with a methodology that draws together analysis of standing buildings, oral testimony, excavation and, in the future, historical records. These analyses allow us to begin to co…

Interpreting Animal Bones in Iran
This paper presents the preliminary analyses and interpretations of animal bone assemblages from three Chalcolithic sites in the Qazvin Plain, Iran. The results of our analyses are then compared to existing analyses from earlier excavations at two of these sites. While there are some similarities between the earlier and later assemblages and analyses, there are also interesting differences. However, issues with dating, excavation and sample colle…

New exploration in the Chitral Valley, Pakistan
New survey in the Chitral Valley has doubled the number of recorded Gandharan Grave culture sites in the region and extended their geographical range. The numbers and location of sites indicates that the Gandharan Grave culture was well established in the Chitral valley, suggesting that the valley may have been central to this cultural development, rather than marginal

Simy Folds
EXCAVATIONS took place on the early medieval settlement of Simy Folds in Upper Teesdale, Co. Durham in 1976, 1979 and 1981 when three sites were examined. An adjacent peat bog was sampled and a radiocarbon-dated pollen diagram constructed. Each site consisted of the stone foundations of a single long narrow rectangular building with one or two small subrectangular buildings at right angles to it, arranged to enclose a yard. The sites lie within a…

Prospecting for New Jobs to Combat Social Exclusion
In its White Papers on European Social Policy and Growth, Competitiveness and Employment the European Commission (1994a; 1994b) highlighted the need to create alternative employment opportunities through the promotion of new fields of economic activity. The provision of services by non-statutory providers to older and disabled people in their own homes was one of the 19 employment fields identified (European Commission, 1998a). In the UK, conside…

Introducing Role and Service Changes in Health and Social Care
A key characteristic of the English and Welsh system of care provision is that the supply function is divided between two types of organisation: the National Health Service (NHS) and local authorities. These inter-organisational and the related inter-professional divides have long been recognised as problematic from a user and carer viewpoint; and various policy changes have attempted to address them. This paper draws on three different research …
